The bearing capacities of spudcan foundation under pure vertical (/1), horizontal (H), moment (M) loading and the combined loading are studied based on a series of three-dimensional finite element analysis. The ...
The spudcan foundation has been widely used in offshore engineering for jack-up rigs. However, “punch through' failure often occurs where a stronger soil layer overlays a softer soil layer. In this study, spudcan pen...
